Pro Lifer’s stand draws Tribune cheer

In his weekly Cheers & Jeers, Opinion Editor Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune gives Cheers to … Kerry Uhlenkott. Legislative coordinator for Right to Life of Idaho:

Uhlenkott this week repudiated the idea of charging women with first-degree murder if they get an abortion.

Scott Herndon of Sagle and the group Abolish Abortion Idaho have proposed a ballot initiative to that effect.

Meanwhile, freshman Sen. Dan Foreman, R-Moscow, says he will sponsor a piece of legislation that says much the same thing.

“Subjecting women to criminal penalties for an abortion is inconsistent with the historic pro-life position,” Uhlenkott said. “We have never supported legislation containing criminal penalties for women.”

Good for her.

Now what about her allies in Idaho’s anti-abortion rights movement?

What have you heard from Idaho Chooses Life’s David Ripley?

How about Cornerstone Institute’s Julie Lynde?

Or Generation Life co-founder Brandi Swindell?
